Question

If a vehicle is traveling 75 miles per hour how many feet does it travel in 1 second

Answer 1

Your vehicle will be traveling 110 Feet per Second

Explanation:

To find the answer all we have to do is some basic conversion.

1 MPH is equal to 1.4667 FPS.

This means we multiply 1.4667 by 75 and get 110.0025.

Rounded this is 110 FPS.

Answer 2

1 hour = 60*60 = 3600 seconds

75 miles: 1 hour

75 miles: 3600 seconds

75/3600 miles: 3600/3600 seconds



1/48 mile: 1 second

1 second: 1/48 mile

-------------------------------------------------------

1/48 miles = (1/48)*5280 = 110 feet

So you're going 110 ft per second. In other words, the car travels 110 feet in 1 second (and does so each second assuming you maintain the speed of 75 mph).


110 feet
